It has no real plot and solves no serious prob- lems. Nevertheless it is most enter- taining and the patrons of the play- house seem to enjoy it. The Fields acquit themselves creditably and ex- tract all the humor that was injected in the piece by the authors. The work of Harry Jackson, who is doing duty | as the Hebrew comedian of the com- pany, is deserving of special praise. Harry is an extremely funny char- | | acter actor and he contributes much ! of the fun while the act holds forth.

Japanese style, that is, with sleeves and body 1in one, and the straight skirt is plaited and attached to the wide belt or girdle.

This flounce is circular, but cut to form points at the sides that ig?l in graceful folds and it is arranged over a three-piece skirt. The blouse is one of t%e very latest, showing the cape effect at the back. Here the gown is made from light weight velvet with trimming of fur and chemisette of Jace, but the model can be utilized for the making of spring costumes and for various seasonable fabrics. The blouse is a charming one to be made of crépe or other suitable material and worn with the tailored suit as well as for the use illustrated.
